Did you miss it.. strip teese (tease)? Okay, moving on.. It appears that the art of burlesque is on the rise. One could thank the Burlesque Queen Dita Von Teese for a lot of the attention, word in the media. I think it’s more here than meets the eye, not just a pretty face and stripping, from news.com.au -

“Revival … burlesque, a fancy form of striptease that first flourished in the US during the Depression, is gathering popularity in at least a dozen US cities and has entered the mainstream on the stiletto heels of dancer Dita Von Teese.”

DITA VON TEESE … WAS BORN HEATHER SWEET IN THE SMALL TOWN OF WEST BRANCH, MICHIGAN.

DETERMINED … VON TEESE’S LINK TO THE BOUDOIR STARTED IN ORANGE COUNTY, WHERE SHE TOOK JOBS SELLING LINGERIE AND PERFORMING IN STRIP CLUBS

APPEAL … HER PROFILE SKYROCKETED WHEN PLAYBOY PUT HER ON THE COVER OF ITS DECEMBER 2002 ISSUE.

STYLE … DITA’S CONSIDERED A FASHION ICON, TOPPING SEVERAL BEST DRESSED LIST AND APPEARING IN COUTURE SHOWS.

DITA HAS PERFORMED HER SHOWS AT EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE US, UK, FRANCE, AUSTRALIA, GERMANY, RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

CLEVER … PART SHOWGIRL, PART SAVVY BUSINESSWOMAN, VON TEESE HAS A CAREFULLY CULTIVATED IMAGE THAT IS EXPECTED TO GROW BEYOND CULT STATUS.
